Beautiful Garbage

I'm glad that guy's kids loved the game. He's a rare case. Shame on Microsoft for allowing such a piece of garbage into it's launch lineup. The only purpose this game served is to show off the graphical power of the X-box.

I use this game to give visitors a quick overview of X-box graphics. Then I pop in Halo, Project Gotham, or Oddworld.

This Game is Dangerous

There's been a lot of talk lately about how violent video games cause violent behavior, but acctually I think it's just the opposite. Shrek is almost ridiculously Non violent. You can punck and kick until you're green in the face, but everything gets back up. Normally, when you play blood bath games like Halo or Max Payne you come away from it feeling relaxed and calm, agressions out. However, play Shrek for a half hour you're going to want to take out a Glock and mow down a line of people at a post office. So parents don't buy your kids this game, buy them Max Payne or Blood wake, now that's therapy.
Oh yeah, and P.S., I don't kbnow what game the people who wrote the product description played, but Shrek only has 8 levels and there are no between level cut scenes.

This game is good and bad. I think you should rent it first because 50% will love it and 50% will hate it. I think it has more ups then downs though, but it still could use a little improvement.

Bravo DICE!

Shrek is not only absolutely gorgeous, but also offers gameplay that is engaging, addictive, and (most importantly) FUN, FUN, FUN! Bravo to DICE on their first Xbox title.

A horrible game.

A crappy game that has no thought put into it whatsoever. This game in monotonous, stupid and just plain annoying. It has nothing to do with the movie whatsoever, and you do really retarded side quests. The combat is horrible too.

Hilarious! The kids love it!

Well.

I don't know about you guys but my kids (aged 13 and 15) are crazy about this game.

We're talking stoopid, stoopid and fun!

And of course: the best graphics - so far - on the X! I really hope the same group of developers will make something for grown-ups next time.

For the young or young at heart!

A horrible follow-up to a great movie

I was really excited when I bought this game. I thought it was going to be a cool game based on the movie where you had to fight the dragon and save the princess, like Super Mario Bros. But it is a huge dissapointment. It seems as if no one of any age group can enjoy it. It's too complicated for a child to understand and master, and the mission are so stupid and childish for an adult to enjoy. The graphics are really good though. When Shrek walks through a field of flowers, he actually walks through it, unlike the other systems where he would walk on top of it. It would be wise to rent this game and save your money for Halo or a better game.

Movie- 10! Game- 0!

No matter what you do, do not buy this game. If you're willing to spend $50 on this game, send the money my way. I can think of a lot more uses for it. Like throw it in a blender, for instance.

The game has fantastic graphics, don't get me wrong, but there is no gameplay at all, and absolutely NO replay value whatsoever. Once you're done, you wish you had borrowed it from a friend. (Borrowed cuz its not even worth the $5-$6 to rent)
Just buy the movie (and perhaps the soundtrack) and be satisfied.

This one convinced me to sell my XBox!

I don't know how a game manages to be dull and hard at the same time, but SHREK has done it. After playing for about fifteen minutes, I found myself longing...no, yearning to switch to my Zelda games on my Nintendo 64. As a matter of fact, after only a few hours of playing on the XBox, my husband and I decided to sell it and wait for a Nintendo GameCube instead. They've always had the best games--Zelda, Gauntlet, Turok--and I suspect they always will. So if you like dull, repetitive games that involve farting on your enemies and no brain power or dexterity skill, SHREK is the game for you!

People Who Say This Game Is Good Are CRAZY!

This game is horrible, boring, disgusting, monotonous, repetitive, and generally unlikable. That should be enough to convince you that this game stinks! It even has a button so you can belch and another so you can pass gas. That was a little too disgusting for my taste. Even OddWorld does that, but it doesn't put any emphasis on it like this game does. Don't rent, don't buy, don't even consider it. Just pick up Shrek 2 and leave Shrek 1 alone!
